- Meetings are remote first. If at least one person is remote then the whole team video calls in. There is nothing worse than being a person on the virtual end trying to understand a mic grabbing voice from a room full of people.

- Schedule peer programming sessions, especially with less senior staff. Without the office environment they have less opportunities to grow.

- All meetings should have a note listing all decisions made.

- Promote async communication. Have people describe a problem instead of saying hi and waiting for a reply.

If someone sends me just “Hi” in slack, they’re still waiting to this day.

you should check out https://www.nohello.com/ Some folks at my workplace have been using this to explain their point of view to people who just send Hi/Hello

Or "Hey, quick question."

Ask the damn question then.

These "slack farts" really irk me. The first time someone does it, I usually respond with the nohello.com link and a brief note letting them know that the niceties aren't necessary - you can just ask your question.

I can assure you it’s just as frustrating having to slow an in person meeting down to remote pace because one person didn’t want to show up.
